    This group is ironically a split off from a different group because the leader of this group is a wealthy cracker who is permanently posting online and got barred by the last group from posting on Twitter because he was making trans members feel uncomfortable with his posts so he rage quit and took all the cis men with him to start this group.

      Wait fr I did not know that history? Do you have more details

      I just recently found this group because of their posts in support of the Austin CPUSA chapter that get booted for reading Black Panther literature and opposing israeli speakers at the CPUSA national conference, so I was under the impression they had a decent line on intersectional liberation politics and opposing settler colonialism. But that first article may have colored my reading or maybe I’m just naïve to it because my interpretation of this piece didn’t scream class reductionism

        Sure dm me any questions.

        They get guest writers who are not involved in their actual organization who sometimes have good takes and most likely have no idea who they are submitting to so might be the case irt the Austin situation.

        But I will say beyond that, it is easy to write good takes and harder to live by them or follow through with them. They might be able to repeat good lines on something like settler colonialism but it doesn’t mean they have killed the settler within or ever intend to
